The Counterattack of the Villains

The person who spoke was Zuo Boyue, the previous head of the Songshan Sect and the father of Zuo Lengchan.

His relationship with Ning Qingyu was not good at first, but after Ning Qingyu expressed his desire to support Zuo Lengchan as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, his attitude was naturally completely different.

Ning Qingyu hugged him and sighed: "Senior Brother Zuo's words really make me ashamed."

"During my tenure as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, I not only failed to lead the heroes to attack Blackwood Cliff and eradicate the cancer of the Demon Sect."

"I'm really ashamed that I couldn't even prevent the development and growth of the Demonic Cult."

"Now that I'm old and dying, I don't belong to the crowd and I'm young and ill-informed, so it's hard for me to take on big responsibilities."

"Because of this position as leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, we, the Huashan sect, can no longer hold the position no matter what."

"I also ask you to choose another virtuous and respected man to lead our Five Mountains Sword Sect to fight against the Demonic Cult."

After hearing what he said, except for the Songshan sect, which was already convinced, everyone in the sects had their expressions changed.

Ning Qingyu's time is short, how can Yue Buqun support the Huashan Sect's reputation? Their decline is a foregone conclusion, this is something they can all see.

At this time, it would be too hypocritical to persuade the Huashan faction to be re-elected as leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, so the candidate for this alliance leader...

I heard an elder from the Hengshan Sect say: "Almost everyone of our generation is old and decrepit, and their vitality and blood have declined. No matter whether they are energetic or mentally strong, they are unable to hold big responsibilities."

"It just so happens that the positions of leaders of each faction have been passed down. How about selecting a rising star who is young, powerful and resourceful among the successors of each faction as the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains this term? What do you think?"

After hearing what he said, Zuo Boyue immediately agreed: "Senior Brother Liu's words make sense. This martial arts world belongs to young people after all. It's time for us to give way to the younger generations."

After the two of them finished speaking, the elders of the other three sects also expressed their agreement.

Taoist Priest Yuqinzi, the master of Taoist Priest Tianmen of Taishan Sect, said, "I wonder who among the Five Mountains Sword Sect can take on this important task?"

Everyone fell silent, looking at this and that. No one spoke rashly, because if someone didn't speak well, he could easily offend others.

Seeing this, Ning Qingyu was the first to speak: "I recommend the nephew of Master Zuo of the Songshan Sect to be the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance."

"Master Nephew Zuo has outstanding talents, and his martial arts skills are among the best among his peers. The most important thing is that he is the first among all sects to take over as the leader. He has relatively rich experience. What do you think?"

After listening to his words, a faint smile appeared on Zuo Boyue's face, while Zuo Lengchan stood up quickly, clasped his fists and bowed: "Uncle Ning is too complimentary, and my nephew cannot bear it."

Master Jingguan, Hengshan Sanding's master, spoke up and agreed: "Master Nephew Zuo is indeed the most suitable candidate, and I, the Hengshan sect, have absolutely no objection."

The Hengshan Sect can be said to be the most Buddhist and least selfish sect among the Five Mountain Sword Sects.

The upper echelons are all a group of nuns who are nuns. It is impossible for lay disciples to become the upper echelons. They are naturally Buddhists.

The Taishan faction saw that there were two factions supporting Zuo Lengchan, and it was obviously the general trend, so they had no choice but to express their support.

The former leader of the Hengshan Sect, Liu Mingxuan, was very aware of his disciple Mo Da's temperament, and he was not suitable to be the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.

Moreover, in previous years, the election for the position of alliance leader was based on sword competition.

There is still a certain gap between Mo Da's martial arts and Zuo Lengchan's. Even if he competes with swordsmen to win the title of commander, his chances are slim.

The Hengshan sect and the Huashan sect have always been on good terms. Now that Ning Qingyu recommended Zuo Lengchan and all three sects agreed, Liu Mingxuan would not offend everyone.

Immediately he spoke in agreement: "Master Nephew Zuo, don't refuse. This is not a good position. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy. Could it be that Master Nephew Zuo doesn't want to take responsibility?"

"this……"

Zuo Lengchan showed hesitation, and Zuo Boyue on the side said in a deep voice: "Lengchan, since all the seniors have chosen you to be the leader of the alliance, you cannot let the seniors down."

Zuo Lengchan then clasped his fists and bowed to the seniors of each sect, saying: "Thanks to the respect of all seniors, my nephew will dedicate himself to upholding justice and destroying the demon sect until his death."

"well."

Ning Qingyu stroked his beard and said two good words in succession with a smile, then stood up and picked up the pedestal holding the five alliance leader's flags, walked up to Zuo Lengchan, and solemnly said: "Leader Zuo, please take the flag.

"

Zuo Lengchan bowed down and respectfully took over the alliance leader's flag.

Seeing this, Li Mu took the initiative to stand up, clasped his fists at Zuo Lengchan and said: "Huashan Yue Buqun, pay your respects to the leader of the Zuo Alliance."

Zuo Lengchan's peers from other sects also stood up and said: "Greetings to the leader of the Zuo Alliance."

Finally, the disciples of each sect said in unison: "Greetings to the leader of the Left Alliance."

At this moment, Zuo Lengchan was really high-spirited.

He glanced at Li Mu appreciatively, handed the alliance leader's flag to Ding Mian beside him, and then clasped his fists again and made a group salute.

"You don't need to be too polite. Although we, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, are divided into monks, nuns, Taoists and laymen, our hearts to support justice are the same."

"Today Zuo is honored by your seniors to assume the position of leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance. In the future, I also ask for your support from all my colleagues. We all share the same hatred of the enemy and are united to defend against foreign enemies."

As soon as Zuo Lengchan finished speaking, all the disciples of the Wuyue Sword Sect shouted in unison: "With the same energy and branches, we can defend against external enemies together... With the same energy and branches together, we can defend against external enemies together... With the same energy and branches together, we can defend against external enemies together."

The disciples shouted three times before stopping.

Zuo Lengchan bowed slightly to Ning Qingyu and said, "The Five Mountains Alliance has been completed. I would also like to ask Uncle Ning to preside over the Huashan Sword Discussion Conference."

"Eh..." Ning Qingyu waved his hands with a smile: "Senior Brother Liu just said that our generation is getting old and our energy and blood are declining. Even if our skills are profound, they cannot last long."

"Since we have already given up our positions as the leader and leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, we might as well give up our position as one of the top ten masters who are the pillars of the righteous martial arts world!"

Zuo Boyue was the first to agree: "What Senior Brother Ning said is absolutely true. The Huashan Sword Contest is a grand event in the entire martial arts world. The status of the top ten masters of the older generation is naturally passed down to the younger generations."

"If other comrades are determined to uphold justice and maintain the righteous path of martial arts, they can also compete."

"But I have set a rule here. The person who competes for the top ten masters of the new generation in this Huashan sword debate must not be over fifty years old."

After hearing these two people's words, the elders of each sect nodded in agreement, and all the martial arts people immediately started thinking.

If the top ten masters are still from the older generation, then they don't have to think about anything. The so-called sword debate in Huashan is just a competition between the senior masters.

If they can watch from the sidelines and gain a little bit, it will be considered a worthwhile trip.

But now that the older generation has decided to retire, the new top ten masters can also think about it.

The top ten masters of the older generation are:

Shaolin Abbot Master Hong Ji

Taoist Priest Xuanyu, the leader of Wudang

Ning Qingyu, former head of Huashan

Zuo Boyue, the former head of Songshan Mountain

Yu Qinzi, the former head of Mount Tai

Liu Mingxuan, the former head of Hengshan

Master Jingguan, the former head of Hengshan Mountain

The current head of Kunlun, Zhen Shanzi

Master Feihong, the former head of Emei

Taoist Master Yimu, the former head of Kongtong.
